Numbers 9:1-14     The Israelites had to keep three things in mind at all times – the LORD’s promise for the future (the promised land), the LORD’s presence in the present (the tabernacle), and the LORD’s deliverance in the past (the Passover).  Those who could not celebrate the Passover on the first month because of defilement could celebrate it on the second month.  The important thing was that those walking toward God’s future never forget his deliverance in the past. 

LORD, thank you for the cross, which makes eternity possible.
